This past Christmas, Silverdale Baptist Church asked its congregation to give a special gift to benefit local mission partners who minister to the neediest in our community: the hungry and homeless. Silverdale raised more than $32,000 to benefit The Bethlehem Center, The Chattanooga Community Kitchen, The Chattanooga Rescue Mission and Hope for the Inner City.
Last month Silverdale Baptist Church presented each of these ministries a check for more than $8,100.
“The beauty of Silverdale is we go outside the walls, and we’ve been doing that for a number of years – and connecting with people who are in the trenches,” Gus Hernandez, Silverdale’s local missions and outreach pastor, said.
Silverdale partners with more than 30 local nonprofits throughout the year and funds them through their members’ faith missions’ offerings and 100% of Oaks Coffee House’s profits.
